CVE-2003-0161

The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail
before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char
and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when
Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control
value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly
execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a
different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.
